Re: Hard primers in Monarch/PPU ammo???

Yep-Monarch sucks. I'm just glad the .380 famine is over.

Yep-Me too. Out of 2 boxes, I've still got the 5 duds that all have 2 good, deep dimples in them. They failed through my wife's Thunder and then through my LCP; it is indeed the ammo. Maybe it's a .380 thing more than the 9MM. I've never had to resort to Monarch 9MM.
